Microsoft employee shares her manager was terminated during meeting, ‘they’re letting go of good people’

Microsoft is once again facing scrutiny following a new wave of mass layoffs. The Redmond, Washington-based software giant is reportedly cutting nearly 9,000 jobs as part of a strategic effort to streamline operations, reduce management layers, and enhance overall efficiency.

These significant job reductions are impacting various divisions globally, particularly within Xbox and other creative segments, leading to unexpected dismissals for numerous employees. Although the 9,000 layoffs constitute approximately 4 percent of Microsoft’s total workforce restructuring, affected employees have voiced their strong dissatisfaction on social media platforms.
